Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 pieces eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 can cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin to ensure even cooking.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Dip each chicken breast into the flour, coating it completely, then shake off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle each piece with a small amount of olive oil to help achieve crispiness.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain its juices.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as a fresh salad or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
